Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Benji Project teaches proven mindfulness and self-compassion tools to young people and their families and communities. Through classes, workshops and camps, we build capacity for stress management and emotional resilience. The Benji Project programming serves youth ages 11 to 19 and their families in East Jefferson County, Washington. Jefferson County is a rural area on the Olympic Peninsula. Much of the county is economically disadvantaged and suffers from a lack of mental health resources. We serve all teens regardless of means, more than half of our participants in after-school and camp programming receive full or partial scholarships.

The Benji Project's mission is to see young people thrive navigating life's ups and downs with resilience.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

The form 990 is provided to the board of directors for review and approval prior to filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

The Board of Director bylaws include a conflict of interest policy. This policy states that any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board-delegated powers who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person and they have a duty to disclose this conflict of interest. Once disclosed, the board (minus the interested party) must determine if a conflict of interest does exist. The interested person is allowed to present information to the board, but must leave the room for the discussion and vote pertaining to the transaction or agreement in their proposal. The board must investigate if there are any reasonable alternatives to the proposal that satisfy the needs of the organization without a conflict of interest, and if there are not, the board must discuss and vote on whether or not the proposal is in the organization's best interest and is fair and reasonable. The person of interest can not be involved in any of these proceedings. The minutes of the meeting shall reflect all information pertaining to the disclosure of the conflict of interest, including naming the person of interest, and of the investigation for a reasonable alternative. Also voting members may not provide information to the board or vote on any matters regarding compensation if the compensation being voted on is their own. A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family a. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the Organization has a transaction or arrangement; b. A compensation arrangement with the Organization, or with any entity or individual with which the Organization has a transaction or arrangement; or c. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the Organization is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 13

This is the first year the organization has been an independent 501(c)3 exempt organization. Certain policies are under review and have not been formally approved by the board of directors.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The Board of Directors determines the Executive Director compensation, reviewing Jefferson County non-profit salary survey data for context. On an annual basis, the Board conducts a performance review of the Executive Director and approves any salary increase, bearing in mind the constraints of that year's budget.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.

Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1A

The Executive Director was contracted by the organization's former fiscal sponsor for the first six months of 2023 prior to the organization's incorporation date of July 1, 2023.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Community programs: The Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens curriculum is offered after school hours for 6th-12th graders. In partnership with community organizations, we extend opportunities for small group support around social emotional well-being. We also periodically offer workshops for parents, caregivers, and educators that help adults understand the brain science of adolescent development, how to support teenagers in positive ways, and how to care for themselves amid parenting and teaching challenges. To celebrate Mental Health Awareness month, we collaborated with two local organizations to design and implement the MAAY project: Mental health Arts Action for Youth, a series of hands-on art-making workshops where students designed and created a large puppet representing youth mental health. The puppet then walked in the large Rhody Parade in Port Townsend. Through our community programs, we reached more than 60 youth directly, and dozens more through awareness and interaction with the MAAY project.
